Almanzo your a horrible father, you wife gives birth, an all you can say is, 'Good thing its a girl.You can't play ball with a son thats crippled.' Who says things like that?!
@ZX2ManDave someone did get raped on the show, but it wasn't laura and mary. it was a girl named sylvia. you might be confusing that with the episode where a bunch of outlaws held laura and mary hostage in the blind school (season 6).
Laura actually went by "Bess", not "Beth", in real life. I'm not sure why this series changed it, but it's not such a big difference, I guess. And it was more of a mutual decision between the two of them as he also had a sister named Laura (and didn't care for the name, besides)
@Haniwa91 When they first met, Almanzo told Laura he could call her by his nickname "Manny." Accidentally, (and quite in love) she calls him Manly. He finds it cute and asks her what her full given name is. She responds with her name of "Laura Elizabeth Ingalls". So he decides to nickname her Beth from Elizabeth.
Almanzo was such a jerk in this episode he should have been happy when his daughter baby rose was born but it said later on in season 9 he was crazy about rose and he called her rosie posie.
I absolutely love this show. i have the 1st 2 seasons on dvd and cant wait to finish getting the collection. i call my boyfriend manly too like laura called almanzo. xD
I love Almanzo, but this episode made me soo mad at him! When Laura's water broke and Manly was screaming after her, I was legit thinking "If you would walk, you could go see what was wrong!"
I really would have punched him when he said "good thing it's a girl, a father can't play ball with his son when he's a cripple" it's like he didn't give a crap what Laura just said to him, he's so selfish.
@NukaCola15 i know what u mean, i was always mehh about almanzo. sometimes i liked him and sometimes i was like 'dude, get ur head out of ur own ass for once!' lol
@gottaloveaz nope. in the books they used some sort of smelling salts or something to knock Laura out? That's the way they used to do it back then, letting the body do its own work with contractions doing the physical pushing part.
@AngelMoonGirl They had just discovered chloroform, which was basically a knock-out chemical like ether--they put some on a rag and made the mother breathe it in, so she was unconscious for her baby's birth. It was encouraged like epidurals are today, because it made childbirth less painful, but if a woman was given too much chloform, it was fatal.
@missmawson I know, right? But, to each her own, I guess. If you can give birth naturally without screaming, more power to you. As for me, all I can say is thank God for epidurals.
OMG almanzo is sooooooooo evil like wtf? hes so mental. Its a baby, idk y sometimes dads want boyss WTF
?
A girl is still ur child, just becuase yu have a girl, it doesnt mean to be sad. Atleast u have a child and can raise it well. dumboo, i hate himm so much! and he doesnt even care for laura when she was pushing for the baby.
@ hockygirls5774 yes....its a nickname he gave her bcuz her middle name is elizabeth....and she call him manly
